It makes me very happy that we finally have self contained PEQ in afordable dacs now, but I also feel this is the end of the line in R&D for DACs, of course some people will ask to get the PEQ on all inputs, which Im sure will come eventually, but this is it, DACs are now a fully developed...
Because to make them affordable, device users have to be the testers, having over the air firmware updates is the norm with shenzhen fast development style electronics.
And also being first to market to be the manufacturer that creates saturation, and not to be the one to be pushed out of...
I agree, but I find it quite cowardly to point fingers at others opinions that are based on data and then, when confronted, retreating under the guise of "language differences" while at the same time shielding behind syntax. So you are both bad at the language but great at it?...
Not to mention...
You are deflecting the question, but worry not, I can put it in terms that satisfy your premise and still ask the same. What would be the sound qualities that a DACs measurements cant guarantee to be the same as from another DAC with equal measurements?
Fair point, but regardless of that, the misticism of pairing the susvara with an amp that's expensive enough, regardless of it's power, it's a meme at this point.
I would like to try the susvara some day, even though I know the tunning I might not like.
To me this always seemed like a product for the chinese luxury item buyer, just make it expensive, add some gold, and you have a winner.
Also a lot of people are going to come crying that you didnt have...
Yeah, thats one other way, but unless im mistaken, we are talking about a DSP PEQ style solution in the D50III, where ideally we get 10 bands, with selectable filters, Qs and frequencies in each band.
I was thinking about this too, on how to make PEQ foolproof for the end consumer, and i guess that if you apply a gain reduction equal to the maximum band gain you can apply, lets say you can add 10db per band so your PEQ module always sets the preamp gain to -10db so no matter what you do you...
Great work Amir, very informative video as usual.
To Amir and all the people who contibuted, contribute and will contribute in the future to endeavours like this, thank you all for making this hobby better and factual.
